Celtic’s latest additions are being held up due to paperwork delays. Both Yang Hyun-jun and Kwon Hyeok-kyu were supposed to link-up with their new teammates and manager in Japan whilst the Hoops are still on their Japanese tour, however, it now looks like both men will head to Glasgow instead.
It’s somewhat disappointing as the supporters had hoped to see them male an appearance at some point during our Japan Tour, but it’s now more likely we will see both players in the flesh at either the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, when we take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on 29 July, or during James Forrest’s Testimonial at Celtic Park on Tuesday, 1 August.
Paperwork issues always occur, especially when it comes to visas and things of that nature. It’s no big deal and we will still all get to see the South Korean pair at some point in the future, particularly with the season about to kick-off in just over a fortnight. The wait just makes the desire to see them all the more stronger and it will be a great feeling when we see them in the Hoops!
